The appeals filed by Senator Ovie Omo-Agege of the All Progressive Congress (APC), as well as Social Democratic Party (SDP) candidate Mr. Kenneth Gbaji and Labour Party (LP) candidate Ken Pela, in connection with the governorship poll held on March 18, have encountered a delay in judgment from the Supreme Court….CONTINUE READING....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

 

A five-member panel at the apex court, led by Justice Inyang Okoro, opted to postpone the judgment following the conclusion of the final briefs of argument presented by all parties involved.

The appellants jointly sought to overturn the November 24 decision of the Court of Appeal in Lagos State, which had dismissed their case for lack of merit.

The Court of Appeal had affirmed Oborevwori of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as the legitimate winner. Additionally, the appellants challenged a prior ruling by the Delta State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal in Asaba, which had upheld Oborevwori’s election on September 29.

Senator Omo-Agege, the immediate past Deputy President of the Senate, argued that the election deviated from the provisions of the Electoral Act, citing irregularities in the recording and serial numbering of results at certain polling units.

Gbaji of the SDP called for the declaration of Governor Oborevwori’s ineligibility, while LP’s Pela urged the annulment of the entire election with the organization of a new one.

The Supreme Court panel has communicated that it will announce the judgment date to all concerned parties.

This legal dispute has gained significant public attention since the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) declared Oborevwori of the PDP as the winner with 360,234 votes, surpassing Omo-Agege of the APC, who secured 240,229 votes.

The Federal High Court in Abuja, presided over by Justice Inyang Ekwo, has adjourned a high-stakes suit (FHC/ABJ/CS/1888/2026) filed by African Democratic Congress (ADC) presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar and his party against President Bola Tinubu, the APC, and INEC until September 28. The legal challenge seeks to disqualify President Tinubu from the 2027 presidential race over allegations that he submitted a forged National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) discharge certificate bearing the name “Tinubu Bola Adekunle”—a document he purportedly used dating back to his 1999 Lagos State governorship bid.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

During Tuesday’s proceedings, a legal team led by Omosanya Popoola appeared for President Tinubu, while Alex Iziyon (SAN) represented INEC. However, Atiku’s counsel, Joseph Onu, argued that the President had not yet been personally served and requested an alternative service method or a formal written undertaking from Tinubu’s counsel. While INEC urged the court to press forward given that over 17 days had elapsed since filing, Justice Ekwo ruled that the court would not dictate how plaintiffs manage their case and granted the adjournment. In closing, the judge issued a stern warning to all parties and legal representatives to refrain from discussing the sub-judice matter in the media or on social media to avoid severe consequences.
